About the 2ND BROAD CREEK BASH 5K RUN/WALK

The run starts at an early learning academy on Wilson Street and the course itself was still being finalized when this was written, so the terrain and route shape are not yet confirmed. What is clear is that the race is part of a broader outdoor festival that also includes cycling, built around Broad Creek.

After the run, the post-race celebration moves to Tidewater Park, a short walk from the start and finish area. Awards cover a wide range of age groups, with overall and masters categories recognized alongside the age-group placements.

Common Questions About the 2ND BROAD CREEK BASH 5K RUN/WALK

Will I finish last at the 2ND BROAD CREEK BASH 5K RUN/WALK?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.11 Miles field finished slower than 30:00, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:06:01, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 2ND BROAD CREEK BASH 5K RUN/WALK a good first 3.11 Miles?

It is a small race (59 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.11 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 2ND BROAD CREEK BASH 5K RUN/WALK?

The 3.11 Miles winner ran 18:09 while the median finisher took 30:00. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
